When Paul Pressler performed the controversial redesign of Tommorowland, he green light a replacement for the low-capacity Peoplemover; the result, the \'\'\'\'\'Rocket Rods\'\'\'\'\' was easily the most unsafe ride Disney had ever developed. The rickety vehicles used had uncomfortable seating, were exposed to the elements, and were very obviously never meant to be on a slow track, which was very obviously never meant for a thrill ride. The inconsistency of the ride was illustrated when it speeds up at the start with an [[MostAnnoyingSound annoying revving sound]] before quickly and roughly slowing down for a turn. It kept on doing this, turn after turn, making for a bumpy ride. The vehicles and track were very prone to malfunctioning, leading to fluctuating speeds and system failures. Not even a slight revision three months later could fix things, and they remained completely unreliable. It was unceremoniously closed in 2001, and quietly announced to be a permanent closure. To this day, the Peoplemover track stands unused, likely as a consequence of this disastrous ride.
